Title: Method for varying the density of drilling fluids in deep water oil and gas drilling applications
Inventor: DE BOER LUC
IPC: E21B7/128
Filed: 2006-11-21
Abstract: A method and system for controlling drilling mud density in drilling operations. The mud required at the wellhead is combined with a base fluid of a different density to produce diluted mud in the riser. By combining the appropriate quantities of drilling mud with base fluid, riser mud density at or near the density of seawater may be achieved, thereby permitting greater control over the pressure in the wellbore and various risers. Blowout preventers may also be used in combination with the process to control these pressures. Concentric risers are disclosed, wherein an annulus defined within one riser is utilized to carry the different density base fluid to the injection point for injection into the drilling mud, while an annulus defined within another riser is utilized to carry the combination fluid and cuttings back to the drilling rig. Cuttings are separated in the usual manner at the surface. The diluted mud is passed through a centrifuge system to separate drilling mud from the different density base fluid. The centrifuge system may also be utilized to separate the recovered drilling fluid into a substantially barite portion and a substantially drilling fluid portion, wherein the two portions are stored locally at the rig and recirculated during drilling operations.

Inventor: KNIGHT BYRON J
IPC: B01L9/00
Filed: 2007-02-12
Abstract: A drip shield includes cover members that define a protective canopy over sample receptacles to prevent unwanted material from being deposited into the receptacles. The cover members cooperate to define at least one access hole through the drip shield to permit access to a sample receptacle by a pipette tip through the access hole. One of the cover members is moveable with respect to another cover member between a closed stated defining the access hole and an open state permitting a pipette tip extending through the access hole to be laterally conveyed relative to the drip shield and out of the access hole. In a preferred embodiment, a system control feature automatically determines if a pipette tip might have been left in a sample receptacle and extending through the access hole of the drip shield and thereby cause the sample receptacle and pipette tip to be conveyed laterally relative to the drip shield while the one cover member moves from the closed to the open state to permit the pipette tip to be conveyed out of the access hole.

Title: Functionalized, solid polymer nanoparticles for diagnostic and therapeutic applications
Inventor: GENERAL SASCHA
IPC: A61K9/51
Filed: 2007-06-07
Abstract: The present invention describes polymer nanoparticles having a cationic surface potential, into which both hydrophobic and hydrophilic pharmaceutically active substances can be enclosed. The hydrophilic and thus water-soluble substances are enclosed through ionic complexation with a charged polymer in the core of the particle by means of coprecipitation. It is possible to use as pharmaceutically active substances for encapsulation both therapeutic and diagnostic agents. The cationic particle surface makes stable electrostatic surface modification possible with partially oppositely charged compounds which may, to improve the passive and active targeting, comprise target-specific ligands.
